MCF Bikery Shipley

The Shipley Bikery is our community project in West Yorkshire. We sell a proportion of the refurbished bikes from our prison workshops, at affordable prices to raise money for the charity.
Refurbished bikes and wheelchairs

Refurbished bikes and wheelchairs are donated, via partner organisations, to people in need in the UK and overseas. A proportion of the bikes are sold through community bikerys or via the online shop to raise funds for the charity.
Margaret Carey

Margaret Carey, the person behind the name of the charity.
What we do

Margaret Carey Foundation (MCF) promotes restorative justice in prisons. We set up and support prison workshops that provide trainees with meaningful work. We collect unused and unwanted bicycles and wheelchairs and bring them to the workshops for restoration and recycling. Once refurbished, all the wheelchairs and a proportion of the bikes are donated to people in need in the UK and overseas.
